The new café will be serving up locally roasted coffee, Eteaket Tea, all day brunch, hot lunch specials, soups, sandwiches as well as Mimi’s award-winning scones and cakes.

Donald Wilson, Edinburgh’s culture convener, said: "Towering above Waverley Station in the heart of the city, with five packed floors of mostly free exhibitions and a hugely popular events programme, the City Art Centre is one of the most accessible places in Edinburgh for art lovers.

"Family friendly Mimi’s Bakehouse is a great match and you could say their delicately decorated cakes are almost artworks in themselves! The gallery is really excited to welcome the team in."

Michelle Phillips, owner of Mimi’s Bakehouse, said: "We are so excited to be moving into The City Art Centre, it is such a wonderful space and we believe there is great symmetry between our two customer bases meaning the start of a wonderful relationship with the centre.

"A city centre location has always been a top priority for us to moving into this great space and starting to grow our brand to new audiences is so exciting and we cannot wait to move in."
